- POPCAT seemed to have a bullish market structure on the daily timeframe Lower timeframes showed bullish sentiment was weak
POPCAT was trending higher on the daily chart and registered a higher low at $1.28 on 25 October. Its momentum appeared to slow down around this time, but it managed to form a higher high in recent days.
Bitcoin’s [BTC] correction from $72.7k caught many overeager bulls offside. POPCAT also registered a 14.45% drawdown over the past three days, but may be likely to maintain its upward trend.

The 23.6% Fibonacci extension level was tested and the correction took place from there. The higher highs and higher lows meant the market structure remained bullish. A daily session close below $1.28 would flip the structure bearishly.
To flip the trend bearishly, a new lower high and lower low must be set thereafter. Such a scenario would mean POPCAT is gearing up for a pullback, potentially below the $1-mark.
At the time of writing, this scenario did not appear likely. The CMF was at +0.05 to denote significant capital flows into the market. The Awesome Oscillator also highlighted the bullish momentum behind the memecoin since the second week of September.
